So Singapore had to improvise defence and lost out ag a result. The method employed by the Japanese were scarcely envisaged when the defences were constructed and the naval ba? constructed at the north end was comparatively free from sea attack but, as it turned out, it was definitely exposed. At this bae was constructed an enormous graving dock 1,000 feet long and 130 feet wide completely surrounded by concrete walls, deep enough to handle any ship afloat. The huge floating dry dock which was blown up recently to prevent it falling into Japanese hands was also located there.
